Richie points out his use of the Ensoniq DP/4 for "additional effects" three minutes into a tour of his live performance setup.

Richie Hawtin can be seen using the Ableton Push during his set at Kappa FuturFestival. Even more interesting is that he appears to be using the Ableton Live-focused controller in conjunction with Native Instruments' Traktor.

At the 3:15 mark in this YouTube video, one can see the Maschine on the left-hand side of Richie Hawtin's live performance setup.

The Fireface UFX can be spotted just underneath Richie's MacBook Pro in this photo. Another photo from the same event, in which the Fireface can be seen: https://www.facebook.com/#!/photo.php?fbid=10153542528410074&set=a.10153542517735074.1073741890.199232390073&type=3&theater

Dubspot's interview with Jay Smith from Livid details how Richie Hawtin was involved with the development of the CNTRL:R.

Used to record the M-nus ENTER. Ibiza nights by converting the audio of each DJing play that night to ethernet signal to route back to a main console for monitoring and recording. During this video from FocusRite, we see that the ENTER. event uses several RedNet4s stacked on top of each other.

Used to record his ENTER. Ibiza nights with all the audio coming from different rooms via the Focusrite RedNet 4's and then successfully recording up to 24 channels of 96k/24 bit audio onto a high-speed USB stick.

From the article with Gearjunkies: "A JoeCo BlackBox Recorder fitted with a Dante interface card is his primary recorder, with Logic Pro and Cubase running on two separate computers as backups, which all connect to the Dante network using standard Cat-6 Ethernet cabling and Audinate's Dante Virtual Soundcard (DVS) drivers." A photo of how this looks at ENTER. can be spotted in the article: http://www.gearjunkies.com/view_image.php?id=16074

One of the original users of the Jazzmutant Lemur. When it was discontinued, Hawtin licensed the environment and has his company Liine code an IOS & Android version of the Lemur.

"Messy @ibizagranhotel DJ setup testing & preparing music for my yearly full-on @cocoon_official @amnesiaibiza set tomorrow" Hawtin captions this picture where a Launch Control can be seen among other pieces of gear.

what the fuck are want? Just take it

Richie has a BCF2000 as a part of his live setup in this video.

Richie Hawtin and Liine co-developed this Max for Live device for the 2010 revival of Plastikman. It saves the state of one's Live Set so it can be instantly recalled later.

The Lexicon PSP 42 is a great effects plugin, with which it is possible to create the well-known Richie Hawtin Delay, as Richie uses this himself.

At 1:25, Richie puts on a pair of HDJ-2000s during his last song at Kappa FuturFestival.

Richie Hawtin posted a photo to Instagram where he can be seen using the AIAIAI TMA-2 Young Guru edition headphones at a show in Romania.

From his archived interview with Ableton: "So I used Ableton then to fully structure and lay out a basic rough version of the mix in the Arrangement View, and once the basic structure was done, I piped it via ReWire into Pro Tools for final adjustments."

From an archived interview with Ableton: "I was probably one of the first beta testers to get onboard, having known some of the guys at Ableton, and I got straight into it... Now on my DJ sets for the DE9: Transitions tour, I'm using Ableton as both an external effects box, routing things in and out of it again, and also for basic tracks and sound sources. So I have five or six hundred tracks in Ableton — full compositions, not just loops — full tracks that can be mixed and edited and manipulated."

In this video you can see Richie Hawtin talking about some stuff going into his live setup and around 10:10 into the video he says he uses Ableton Live 9 in his live shows for drum machines. During the video you can also see that he has an Ableton Push in the setup and Push works only with Live 9 (well, unless manually remapped as a basic midi controller)
